Jamie Lynn Spears (Britney Spears’ sister) is engaged
Britney’s most recent romance may have crashed and burned, but things are looking up for another Spears sibling.
Brit’s little sis Jamie Lynn is celebrating after her boyfriend Jamie Watson popped the question with a giant diamond ring.
The 21-year-old announced the news on Twitter over the weekend – posting a picture of her and Jamie showing off the gem.
Former child star Jamie Lynn has been dating 30-year-old Jamie for the past three years – after splitting with Casey Aldridge, the father of her four-year-old daughter Maddie.
Britney (31) was recently dumped by her manager fiance Jason Trawick after nearly four years together.
But she isn’t bitter about her sibling’s happy news.
Jamie Lynn Spears.
Jamie Lynn Spears is engaged, and big sis Britney Spears is thrilled.
“So excited and happy for my sister, congrats @jamielynnspears — love you” – Britney tweeted out Monday morning.
Her tweet was in reaction to a couple of Instagram posts from the younger Spears on Sunday, when she shared the fact that boyfriend Jamie Watson had popped the question.
“Guesssss what??????” Jamie Lynn wrote to caption an all-smiles shot of herself flaunting a new ring on that finger, with 30-year-old Watson at her side.
Posting a brilliantly clear picture of a brilliant and big rock, the 21-year-old wrote on the second shot: “#hedidgood.”
Marriage is something she and Watson had been thinking about for a while, he told the New York Post in January. They’ve been dating on and off for three years.
Jamie Lynn has a child (4-year-old Maddie) with Casey Aldridge, to whom she was previously engaged.
According to an interview Watson gave to the New York Post’s Page Six column back in January, marriage has been in the cards for the on-again, off-again couple for some time now. “I think promise rings are dumb” – he said of a previous sparkler he had gifted to Spears. “And Jamie Lynn doesn’t care that much. She’s not too picky.”
Spears had previously been engaged to Casey Aldridge, the father of her 4-year-old daughter, Maddie. As a teen, Spears was the star of her own Nickelodeon show – “Zoey 101,” but is now hoping to follow in the footsteps of her big sister in the music business. She’s working on a country album in Nashville when she’s not in Kentwood, Louisiana, with her daughter.
While Jamie Lynn is now planning her wedding, Britney called off her engagement to longtime boyfriend Jason Trawick, back in Jan., when she also announced she wouldn’t be returning to “The X Factor.”
